Here at Farnworth Rose we would like to wish all of our clients and friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.2017 was a milestone year for the Farnworth team as we celebrated our tenth year in business! To mark turning the big '1-0, the 'Farny Army' undertook no less than 10 fundraising challenges throughout the year to give back to the local community, nominating the Pendleside Hospice as our chosen charity. From car boots to tombolas and cupcakes to prison breaks, no task was too big or too small for our fearless fundraisers.2017 also saw the Farnworth Rose team continue to grow and our range of legal services expand. We are delighted to have helped clients in areas including conveyancing, employment law, wills, probate and lasting powers of attorney, matrimonial law and holiday illness claims.Our greatest hits of the last yearIn April Farnworth Rose officially turned 10 and welcomed expert matrimonial solicitor Craig J Baldwin on board.Craig has over 35 years' experience in delivering real, workable solutions following relationship breakdowns to clients throughout the North West.June saw the culmination of 7 years' hard work as Rebecca Purtill qualified as a solicitor.
